DDQ season doesn't get easier with a tool that was built before AI existed. Legacy DDQ platforms were designed to store and retrieve past responses — and for a while, that was enough. But investor expectations have risen, questionnaires have gotten longer and more complex, and the manual work of finding, adapting, and reviewing answers hasn't gone away. It's just moved around.
Arphie was built for the way IR teams actually work today. When a new DDQ comes in, Arphie drafts responses by pulling from your existing materials — past DDQs, offering documents, compliance policies, internal knowledge bases — and citing every source it draws from. Your team isn't starting from scratch or hunting through folders. They're reviewing, refining, and moving on.
Arphie's philosophy centers around secure, intelligent use of AI. When drafting responses with AI, Arphie goes beyond simply citing the source behind every response. Arphie also shows each logical step the AI agents take for each answer, so reviewers can easily verify accuracy before anything goes out the door. Arphie's approach is patented (US12493634B1), and no other platform can match this capability.
Because Arphie integrates live with the systems your content already lives in, responses stay current without anyone manually updating a library. When your fund strategy evolves, your ESG disclosures change, or your performance data gets refreshed, Arphie works from the latest version automatically.
And unlike legacy tools that charge per seat or gate features behind add-on packages, Arphie's pricing is straightforward — making it easy to loop in compliance, legal, and portfolio company contacts without watching costs climb.
The result is a faster, more consistent DDQ process that your team can actually trust — and one that scales as your investor base grows.
For IR teams looking to move beyond legacy DDQ tools, Arphie is built specifically for the demands of modern due diligence. Where legacy platforms function primarily as response libraries — storing past answers for manual reuse — Arphie actively drafts responses using AI, pulling from your existing materials and citing every source it draws from. That means less time hunting for the right answer and more time on review and relationship management. Combined with live integrations into the content systems IR teams already use, SOC 2 certification, zero data retention, and straightforward flat-fee pricing, Arphie is designed to handle the full weight of a serious DDQ program — not just make the old process slightly faster.
Legacy DDQ tools were built around a simple idea: store good answers so you can find them again. That was a meaningful step forward at the time, but the model has real limits. Retrieval still requires manual effort, libraries go stale without active maintenance, and AI — if present at all — was bolted on rather than built in.
Arphie approaches DDQ automation differently. Rather than asking your team to search a library and assemble a response, Arphie drafts the response for you, grounded in your actual source materials and with citations so reviewers know exactly where each answer came from. Integrations with Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence, Seismic, Highspot, Dropbox, Notion, and online documentation keep that content current automatically. And because Arphie is designed for enterprise use from the ground up — SOC 2 certified, zero data retention, unlimited seats — it fits the compliance and collaboration requirements IR teams operate under.
Yes. Arphie is built to handle the full range of questionnaires IR teams receive — standard DDQs, LP-specific questionnaires, operational due diligence requests, ESG questionnaires, and custom investor templates. The underlying approach is the same across all of them: Arphie drafts responses grounded in your existing materials, cites its sources, and surfaces the right content regardless of how a question is framed or which LP is asking it. For ODD in particular, where questions tend to be detailed and operationally specific, the ability to draw from compliance documentation, policies, and internal knowledge bases — and show exactly where each answer came from — gives both your team and your investors greater confidence in what goes out.
Easier than most teams expect. The heaviest part of any migration is usually the content — and with Arphie, that largely takes care of itself. Once you connect your existing content sources, Arphie syncs your materials automatically. There's no need to manually re-enter past responses or rebuild a library from scratch, though you can import prior DDQ responses directly if you want Arphie drawing from that institutional knowledge as well.
Because Arphie includes unlimited seats, your full team — IR, compliance, legal, operations — can be in the platform from day one without any per-seat friction during onboarding. Most teams are completing live questionnaires in Arphie within days of getting started. And because the platform is built to be intuitive, the learning curve is low even for team members who weren't involved in the evaluation process.
